CHICHESTER.- Craft of land, sea and air are offered at Bonhams Goodwood Members’ Meeting Sale, with two aeroplanes, a boat, and rare collectors’ motor cars going under the hammer on 20 March.

From the skies, the only remaining airworthy Canberra PR9 - XH134 is offered, estimated at £50,000-70,000, in addition to a Hawker Hunter - XK600, estimated at £8,000-12,000 and offered at no reserve.

The Canberra was a jet-powered medium bomber aeroplane manufactured in Britain throughout the 1950s. It could fly at a higher altitude than any other bomber at the time, and set a world altitude record of 70,310 ft (21,430 m) in 1957. Due to its ability to evade the early jet interceptors and its significant performance advancement over contemporary piston-engined bombers, the Canberra was a popular export and served with air forces of many nations.

On land, more than 60 collectors’ motor cars are offered, including several exciting competition models, such as the ex-Don Grimshaw 1958 Austin-Healey 100/6 Rally Car. Estimated at £150,000-200,000, the Healey boasts a competition provenance that includes the 1962 and 1965 Monte Carlo Rally, the 1965 East African Safari and the 1965 Spa-Sofia-Liège Rallies.

Further competition car highlights include the ex-Gerry Marshall/Peter Brock, 1977 Spa 24 Hour Class winning and 2nd overall 1977 Vauxhall Firenza Magnum 2300 Coupé, estimated at £80,000-120,000, and the 1965 Fiat 2300S Abarth Coupe, estimated at £30,000-40,000.

For cruising the water, a Healey Marine Sprite Powerboat ‘Mimi’. Best known for Healey and Austin-Healey motor cars, the Donald Healey Motor Company were also expert boat builders. The model offered is one of the last boats produced by Healey Marine, and is estimated at £7,000-10,000.
